Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Eligibility Criteria of Student Universal Support Ireland: Discussion
Mr. Philip Connolly:
I thank the Senator.
Chairman, you had questions as well. We can probably provide more information on the common mistakes by sending an email with some suggestions. The completeness of the application is key in terms of allowing us to get information from other Government bodies. Incomplete applications, and particularly when documents we request on that basis come back incomplete, delay the process for students. The issue is to try to have everything as clear as possible on the application form and have the documentary evidence ready to go. However, if there are issues, we allow extensions on return of documentation and the like.
I believe I answered your other questions in my replies to the questions from Deputies and Senators.
